Yuan v. Lynch, June 28, 2016 - "We conclude that the purported inconsistencies regarding Yuan’s injuries and time in the hospital, his method of transportation to the hospital, and whether or not government officials questioned him at his workplace are either so easily explained or so trivial as to call into doubt the Board’s decision. And even though Yuan acknowledges that his testimony regarding his brother’s whereabouts was inconsistent, this lone inconsistency is not sufficiently material to warrant an adverse credibility finding under the REAL ID Act. Thus the petition for review is GRANTED." [Hats off to Joshua Bardavid!]
